The question

Does the resemblance between Jesus and Adam in the verse, "Indeed, the example of Jesus to Allah is like that of Adam. He created Him from dust; then He said to him, 'Be,' and he was," mean that Jesus did not err, did not die, and was raised to heaven with his body, while Adam erred and died, and therefore Christ is "the word of truth" unlike Adam and the prophets?

The answer

The similarity between Adam and Jesus is that Allah created them by His power in an unconventional way. Adam was created without a father or a mother, and Eve was created from a male without a mother, and Jesus was created from a female without a father, as Allah says: {When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, "Be," and it is}. A servant is not obligated to know the wisdom behind choosing Jesus over others, and Adam repented to Allah, and his sin was forgiven.

The mentioned does not indicate that Allah created Jesus without a father because he was infallible from Satan. The reason for their safety from Satan - Jesus and his mother Mary - is the acceptance of Mary's mother's supplication: {And I seek refuge for her in You and her offspring from Satan, the expelled}. It has not been proven that all prophets erred, and they must be respected, and the bodies of the prophets are not consumed by the earth. The statement of truth in Maryam is attributed to Allah Almighty, and it is not a characteristic of Him. The story of Satan casting (a suggestion) on the tongue of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, is a fabricated story.
